Canadian Railroads > Narrow gauge CN 805Date: 08/25/15 15:19 Narrow gauge CN 805 Author: Mberry CN 805 is a narrow gauge export model (GMD G8) built in 1956 for CN's lines in Newfoundland. It is not in the best shape and is leaning heavily. Shot at Exporail this past Sunday in St-Constant, Qc.

In the two shots of CN 805 it is clearly evident that the center axles are lower and the wheel diameter less than the two outboard axles. It's almost like the center axle is getting out of the way of the traction motors. Maybe that was the design?

Despite the little rust you can still see the patina of wear from its last days, even the original green showing through. That's a personal preference, and I am in no position of influence.
